The Secret of the Great Pyramid: How One Man’s Obsession Led to the Solution of Ancient Egypt’s Greatest Mystery

Résumé

Egyptologist Bob Brier tells the story of Jean-Pierre Houdin, a French architect who spent several years sitting in front of his computer for 10 hours a day puzzling out a solution for the building of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Using three-dimensional architectural software, Houdin constructed 3-D models of the interior of the pyramid. The images rotating on his screen provided evidence of a mile-long ramp corkscrewing up the inside of the pyramid that had remained undetected for 4,500 years. His theory solves many mysteries about the huge structure and has won supporters. But proof awaits permission from the Egyptian authorities to look for the ramp, most likely using thermal photography.
